not to mention, I'd have asked the kid.."are your parents coming home soon? and are you ok?" If he said yes, I go back to what I'm doing. - Jim Jun 10, 08:24 27
- maybe they were worried he was mentally challenged or something. Who plays basketball in the rain? -- nm - decline Jun 10, 08:26 26
  - as long as it is nice out. Rain never stopped me from playing. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 10, 08:48
  - Any kid with a hoop, a ball and a desire to be outside playing. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 08:39 1
    - or one locked out of his house on a rainy afternoon apparently -- nm - decline Jun 10, 08:43
  - I did all the time and I was in a park, not my backyard. Rain isn't a deterrent to playing outside. -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 08:32 19
    - I rest my case -- nm - decline Jun 10, 08:33 18
      - I'm constantly amazed that there are people who don't love playing in the rain. -- nm - David Jun 10, 08:47 14
        
        Getting wet on purpose for no reason is dumb. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 08:50 13
        
        To have fun! It's fun to play outside and in the rain it can be more fun. -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 08:52 8
        
        One of the happiest moments of my life was walking down the streets of Paris during a rainstorm. - David Jun 10, 08:55 1
        
        Nice! Share it if you can find it. -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 09:00
        
        Football in the rain is fun, especially on a muddy field. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 08:52 1
        
        Yes! Difficult but lots of fun. -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 08:54
        
        Not as much alone, though. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 08:52 3
        
        Yeah, that just looks sad. -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 08:53 2
        
        which is why we called the police! -- nm - crazy redneck neighbor Jun 10, 08:54 1
        
        Heh. :-) People need to mind their own business unless they see real danger. A kid shooting hoops in the rain isn't one. -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 08:55
        
        You don't swim? -- nm - David Jun 10, 08:51 1
        
        no -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 08:52
        
        100 degress? -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 08:50 1
        
        Cooling off is a reason. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 08:51
      - *golf clap* -- nm - Truman Jun 10, 08:43
      - *shakes fist* -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 08:42
      - *snickers* -- nm - CQ Jun 10, 08:34
  - I suspect the neighbors don't like this family. Nm - ralph wiggum Jun 10, 08:29 2
    - I'd bet this is it 100% -- nm - Jim Jun 10, 08:41
    - Many people disliked the basketball court we had due to noise as well as the bright lights we had around it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 08:30
